We came as a group of 7 for a bottomless brunch and we were served by Liv. She was brilliant from start to finish! So personable and friendly, the service was 10/10. Would definitely recommend going there for a brunch and would ask Liv to be your server!

Came for bottomless brunch the other week and really enjoyed my time there. Want to shout out Liv who was a great host!! We were greeted at the door with very welcoming energy and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Will definitely be coming back.

came for a try because they have 50% off on first table! that made the meal very value for money but otherwise it would be slightly spenny for what you are getting. everything was a bit bland and needed the sauces, our favourite dish was the sweet potato fries. music was quite loud and not suitable for conversation. it is a nice space though and i would be curious how it transforms into a party spot
